What performance specs does the Dell 345-BMLB SSD provide?

The Dell 345-BMLB delivers up to 14,000 MB/s sequential read, 7,100 MB/s sequential write, 2,500,000 random read IOPS, and 360,000 random write IOPS via PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe. This enables wire-speed operation in E3.S slots for low-latency enterprise applications.

Which workloads is the 345-BMLB optimized for?

Read-intensive TLC NAND suits VDI, AI inference, analytics, cloud caching, and content distribution where reads vastly outnumber writes. 1 DWPD over 5 years with 28,032 TBW handles repeated access to large static datasets efficiently.

What form factor and installation features does it have?

E3.S (2.5-inch equivalent, 7.5mm thick) with included Dell tray for tool-less hot-plug in PowerEdge servers. Optimizes airflow, density up to 10+ drives per 1U, and thermal management via multiple sensors.

Is the 345-BMLB compatible with Dell PowerEdge servers?

Dell-certified for PowerEdge 14G through 17G models with PCIe Gen5 E3.S bays like R760, R760xa. Managed via iDRAC/BIOS for RAID/HBA modes; verify specific chassis support for Gen5 speeds.

What endurance and reliability ratings apply?

Features 28,032 TB total bytes written, 1 DWPD for 5 years, 2,500,000 hours MTBF, and data loss protection. Read-intensive design ensures longevity for enterprise QoS in dense configurations.

How does E3.S compare to U.2 for this SSD?

E3.S offers better signal integrity, power delivery, thermals, and density than U.2. Horizontal slot design improves cooling in high-drive-count servers, enabling higher PCIe Gen5 performance without throttling.
